A beautiful rainbow in the midst of a stormReview by Jess

All I can say is, 'WOW!'
I started this book intending on just reading the first few chapters and I could not put it down.
"Keziah" is a journey that Lizzie so eloquently takes the reader through, with waves of deep sorrow and immeasurable pain, but rooted on a strong solid foundation of faith and hope. This book is an amazing testimony of the Grayson Family's life during a time of supreme grief and tragedy, with a beautiful sense of God's overwhelming presence.
This book is an absolute MUST read for anyone processing their own personal grief, either from the loss of a baby or a loved one.
As well as Lizzie's own personal story, the book literally gives the reader very real and practical guidance to help someone through their own personal storm.

This book will challenge you, but also provide you with some absolute golden nuggets that will completely transform you and help you to really seek God's tangible presence to help you soar above any storm. (Posted on 05/12/2016)

I loved this book from start to finishReview by cuteasabuttonon

Lizzie has been incredibly open and honest about her reactions and emotions during a very painful time in her life, and I found it so encouraging to see how her faith deepend through such a difficult time. I have no doubt that it will be encouraging to others too, particularly other women going through a difficult pregnancy. Read with a box of tissues and be prepared to be amazed by God's grace at work in a time of tragedy. (Posted on 05/10/2016)

Faith even in deepest despairReview by Lynnon

Rating

It has been amazing to read about Lizzie and her family's experience through pregnancy, birth and loss. Even at the darkest moments Lizzie keeps turning to God to provide support and encouragement. An awesome account of how faith can help you to cope in the most heart-wrenching situation. As a Christian, I aspire to have such a strong faith as Lizzie. As a non-Christian you can't help but want to know more! Beautifully written, eloquent language and spoken from the heart. (Posted on 05/10/2016)

To read such strength of faith and character is humblingReview by MRS LISA VALENZA

Rating

To read such strength of faith and character is humbling. To have the honour to have met such people and read that they always kept their hope alive is a privilege.
This book I'm sure, will send a message to never give up even on the darkest of days and life will still reward you some how. (Posted on 05/10/2016)

This is an amazing book of faith and trusReview by Roy

Rating

This is an amazing book of faith and trust. It goes right to the heart of what it means to walk with God in both the good and difficult times and trust that he will provide. Highly recommended to anybody who needs to know that God really does care about each one of us. (Posted on 05/10/2016)

I am sure you will LOVE IT!Review by Bisleys

Rating

What I love about Keziah is that it is filled with truths taken directly out of the Bible - my favourite book. It is like a practical guide on how to put the Lord's truths into the situations you face, either daily, or in this case, during a traumatic event that tests us. Wherever you are at with your faith (or even if you don't currently believe) Keziah will show so wonderfully how the tests and trials you face will mould you and grow you as a person and in your faith in Our Heavenly Father when you choose to obey all He has outlined in His Word.

You may not be faced with the same trial as Lizzie, but how her and Mark chose to deal with it (fully seeking God and trusting in His unfailing love) is something that you too can adopt in whatever you are facing. I encourage you to READ IT, cause I am sure you will LOVE IT! (Posted on 05/10/2016)

I could not put it down because of the beautifully eloquent and gracious way it had been writtenReview by Mrs. H. Silk

Rating

Having also carried and lost a baby girl with Edward's syndrome at full term and having experienced all the pain, anguish and incredible sense of loss I have been so blessed to read about the same undeniable support of our loving Father in heaven. To meet Lizzie with her wonderful faith and trust in Him and then read her wonderful written testimony has been the icing on the cake. It was a very emotional experience reading this book, but I could not put it down because of the beautifully eloquent and gracious way it had been written. I would recommend this to anyone who has experienced loss or loves reading about the personal way God gets close to us in the midst of our most challenging times. I hope and pray that it will also encourage many, many others who are seeking more from this life to come to faith. (Posted on 05/10/2016)

This is one of those books that once you've started it you cannot put it downReview by Karen

Rating

It is a beautifully written, truly inspiring read... tear jerking in places but full of hope, truth and positivity. A person’s natural response to grief and tragedy on this level is quite often to sink into negativity, despair and blaming God. Lizzie's book shows in such a down to earth, practical and honest way that there is a whole different way to deal with the difficult issues and situations we face in life... a way that is all about running to God and trusting and leaning on HIM however bad things get, and seeing HIM come through for you. It is an amazing book which will make you look at and challenge how you deal with the tough times in your own life. A definite must read for Christians and non-Christians alike!

A very enjoyable and inspirational read.Review by Cachia12345

This book is beautifully written and I had to read from start to finish in one go, as I followed the difficult journey that Lizzie and Mark took. The photographs inside it are beautiful. (Posted on 01/05/2011)

Fantastic! Review by Lillybeth

A compelling and gripping read. Couldn't put it down once I'd started! Loved the way the author intertwined the word of God with the day to day journey of their trial. A real encouragement to anyone looking for God in difficult times. I thoroughly recommend it! (Posted on 24/04/2011)

InspiringReview by Sunrise

The sadness of the subject of this book is overshadowed by the faith of the author in a God who is big enough to do the impossible and loving enough to be trusted.

The authors determined response of faith in God in the light of deep pain and suffering challenged and inspired me.

Amazing read, full of treasure, worth every pageReview by Zebra

This book is a amazing read. So few of us every really get to grasp that God can turn our mourning into joy. We may never know why we go through what we do but this book is a great testimony to the fact that God will always journey with us, we just have to look for Him, He is always there to be found. He will hold us, comfort us, guide us and bind up our wounds. This book is full of the treasures of darkness and well worth reading. May it help many to find what you have found Lizzie.
